Was an option early on
Probubly political reason why XM was dropped. I suspect there is a wrecked one out there by now, and it could have the XM option. That is a sad thought. I was told of one person doing 25 to $30,000 damage twice on the same car.

I had mine switched
by the dealer when I bought the car.
I was told they went to Sirus-Only mid 2006 but the dealers parts dept. still has some or can get them from others.
The car electronics has set-ups for either.
It cost me around $300 for the switch.
Worth every penny! Sirius has always been poor in both programming and reception. (IMHO)

that's a regional problem, not a sirius problem.
i have yet to lose a sirius signal for more than a few seconds, and that rarely happens. i can even get a signal in most underground parking garages.
my father-in-law had problems with sirius similar to yours, and he's in SoCal....must be a Cali thing.

well...like it or not, Sirius is taking away market share from XM at an alarming rate.
if that continues at the present rate, XM could be kaput in a couple of years. obviously there has been talk of a merger, but I don't really see how sirius would benefit from that.
